Overjoyed to announce that the St. Stefanos Greek Orthodox Church and St. Pete's Super Greek Festival communities are working together with our new community-based partner Sleep In Heavenly Peace (SHP). https://www.facebook.com/SHPbeds. SHP is a non-profit dedicated to building and delivering beds for kids who do not have a bed of their own! We proudly join them in support of their Mission – NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN! SHP will be present at our festival this year all 3 days. On October 26, 2024, St. Stefanos Greek Orthodox Church will also be hosting a Bed Build on our Campus. More details to follow. Come out and help us fulfill their Mission.
